Thats a lot of work you been doing there very complex...gonna stay dry for sure the way you have it set up...like the radon boats? those are interesting hulls you see them once in a while in the marinas along the coast. Nice work and thanks for documenting it here on CSC

Thanks guys. It's definitely been fun and way more work than I originally thought, haha. Seems like my time is spent 20% planning, 10% glassing, 40% sanding and 30% day dreaming of trips and adventures we'll have on the boat.

The top of the gunnel has lots of both spider cracks as well as long cracks along the outside edge of the gunnel. I'm planning to lay some glass over them and am wondering if a layer or two of veil cloth will be enough to stop them from showing through? Or do I need to use heavier glass(biax)?

Does the 30% include beer refreshments while day dreaming??

Really impressive amount of concept and engineering. I’ve been to CA once and it was Santa Barbara. Left thinking how it feels so different than the East Coast. That design is going to be awesome and I want to see video of that 20 in action. Imagine it will feel a lot like the Bruce Brown footage. Thanks for providing great content.

The light cloth should be enough.

I traded Beer for Ice Cream a few years ago and I'm not going back.

If you make it SB again shoot me a message. I'll definitely post some pics and videos when I start getting out again.

Great! That's what I was hoping, it'll be a lot easier than biax.

Weekend updates.

The exterior of cuddy is fully tabbed on, still need to do the inside. Working through the long list of small items as well as planning out the transom storage boxes.
